Chapter 148: Heavier Than a Knife, Faster Than an Arrow
Ning Que knew that the second senior brother was a strict gentleman, and he didn't like to be greeted by people the most, or he didn't like to be greeted by people in a way that could be seen at a glance, so he thought hard about the simple but not simple sentence, and said it in the most natural way, but unfortunately it was wrong.
This is equivalent to wanting to slap Xuema's buttocks, but it turned out to be a slap on the big black horse's big buttocks, and the scene was inevitably a little embarrassing, but how thick his face was, he was suddenly silent and didn't realize that his face was hot.
"I heard that the bookworm followed you back to Chang'an City?"
"That is the senior brother who thinks he is a godsister and invites him to play in Chang'an City, and it has nothing to do with me. β
The second senior brother glanced at him and said in a cold voice, "Is she going to marry the senior brother?"
This is not a misunderstanding but a naked ridicule and ridicule, no matter how thick Ning Que's face is, he can't help it, so he has to learn from the appearance of those girls, and look down at the toes of his shoes that rub out the placket.
"Go and do your thing. β
After the second senior brother said this, he stepped on the trestle and walked towards the Huxin Pavilion, his posture was steady and even stubborn, every step was as accurate as a ruler to measure, and the high crown hat on his head did not tremble in the breeze.
Ning Que looked at his back and thought to himself, why did the second senior brother always like to stay in the pavilion?
This kind of question was categorically unanswered, or he did not dare to go around saying it, so he shrugged his shoulders, carried his heavy bag, and walked into the blacksmith where the thunder and fire were endless all day long.
In the white steam room, the fourth senior brother wearing the winter clothes of the cyan academy was still sitting by the dark window, meditating on the runes in the sand table, and the topless sixth senior brother was still wielding a heavy hammer by the stove.
Listening to the footsteps, the two senior brothers stopped what they were doing and looked back, and found that it was Ning Que who had returned, and the expressions on their faces suddenly became excited, and they asked, "Is the arrow good to use?"
Ning Que thought that the reason why the two senior brothers were so excited was because they had reunited with him after a long absence, and they didn't even have the meaning of saying hello, they only cared about their heart-wrenching crystallization condensed on the sword and arrow, and couldn't help but smile bitterly, and then bowed deeply to the ground and made the most solemn salute to the two senior brothers.
If it weren't for the fact that these two senior brothers in the blacksmith shop had been working tirelessly for several days to make Yuan Thirteen arrows and talisman knives for him, I was afraid that he would have already died, and if it was a life-saving grace, how could I not be grateful?
Ning Que put down his bag and took out the Yuan Thirteen arrows from the iron box and lined them up neatly on the ground, and said, "The Yuan Thirteen Arrows are very good, I took a look at them and only need to be repaired to be able to use them again." β
The fourth senior brother had a suspicious look on his face, stepped forward and tapped his fingers, counted the talisman arrows on the ground, and said in disbelief: "You didn't miss a single one?"
Ning Que replied honestly: "Senior brother helped me pick it up." β
The fourth senior brother laughed, thinking that since the senior brother was present at that time, this arrow would naturally not be lost.
These talismans and arrows on the ground embody the hard work of everyone in the mountains behind the academy, especially the fourth senior brother and the sixth senior brother, who poured all their life's learning into it, and forgot to sleep and eat to achieve the final success.
They already knew the news of the fiasco of the prince of Longqing, and thought that if the little junior brother could defeat Longqing, he must have used the Yuan Thirteen arrows, so they didn't expect to be able to see all the rune arrows, but they didn't expect that when the little junior brother came back, there were a lot of rune arrows, and for them, it was like a child who returned home one by one, so they were naturally very happy.
The sixth senior brother looked at Ning Que and asked honestly, "What else does the junior brother need us to do?"
Ning Que smiled a little embarrassedly, thinking that the sixth senior brother had been dealing with furnace fire and iron all year round, but he didn't expect to be able to guess his thoughts so accurately, and then he took off the three Pu knives and handed them to the other party with the sheath.
The sixth senior brother's palm was extremely thick, and he grabbed three knives in one fell swoop and asked, "This knife is not easy to use?"
Ning Que pondered his words and said, "It's a little light." β
He had experienced many battles in the wasteland, and these three Pu Dao helped him harvest a lot of flying heads in the confrontation with the horse thieves, but when he faced Lin Ling, Long Qing, Ye Hongyu, and even Master Liansheng, the role that Pu Dao could play was very small, and the runes engraved on it were of little use.
Compared with Yuan Thirteen Arrows and the Tips, Pu Dao thought that his help was getting smaller and smaller, but after all, he was used to fighting with a knife, and he was really reluctant to abandon it, so he wanted to ask the sixth senior brother to help transform it.
The sixth senior brother looked down at the three knives and asked, "How do you want to change it?"
Ning Que looked at the three slender Pu knives and remembered a lot of things, in the past few years, he relied on these three knives to kill horse thieves on the shore of Sobi Lake and kill assassins at the Beishan Pass, but with the improvement of his strength, his position in this world is different, and many things are changing.
In the past, he always carried three knives on his back, which had become a kind of sign, because he had been thinking about how to deal with the insidious three-man assassin team under Xiahou's command, but now he only needed to kill those assassins with the touch of a finger, so he no longer needed three knives.
He was going to kill Xiahou, and Xiahou was alone, so he only needed a knife.
A big, heavy knife.
That knife had better be bigger and heavier than the blood-colored venerable knife that Tang Xiaotang was holding.
Ning Que looked at the slender and familiar blade of the Pu knife, and suppressed the reluctance in his heart.
"Trouble Senior Brother to combine these three knives into one. β
Some brothers are playing the piano and singing, some are scratching their heads on the lower mold, and some are crying at the funeral. There is a senior sister who is drawing hairpins by the window, the scholar is still reading outside the cave and has no good temper, Chen Pipi does not know where he died in the mountains, the senior brother does not know where to go to the mountains slowly, he wants to ask some important questions but can't find anyone.
Because that extremely important question could not be answered, Ning Que did not dare to practice in the mountain behind the academy at all, whether it was the flying sword taught by the second senior brother or the flying needle taught by the seventh senior sister, otherwise he was very worried about the majestic qi in his body, and a black gas erupted from the top of his head and rushed straight to the clouds, provoking a certain Zhenshan divine beast in the academy to directly suppress him.
So he wandered around boredly in the back mountains, lying on the meadow and watching the big white goose of the second senior brother feed the fish, he finally couldn't stay any longer, and went directly out of the academy and returned to Chang'an City in a carriage.
Thinking that he wanted to do his best as a landlord, he went to find the disciples of Mochiyuan, and prepared to take them to visit Chang'an City in winter.
So he went back to Lane 47 and took Sangsang to the Red Sleeves.
The red sleeves are the most elegant and expensive party in the world, they don't need to do too much business, they can earn enough money, so they generally don't open the door during the day, especially now that it is still the middle of winter, the girls are hiding upstairs or in the small courtyard to eat melon seeds and chat, and the hug is even more deserted and empty than the mountain behind the academy.
But Ning Que is not an ordinary guest, he broke into the red sleeve trick with just a few taels of silver on him, and then he didn't spend much money during the years, and there are a lot more inexplicable relationships with this building, with the improvement of his status, his popularity in the red sleeve trick Cheng dΓΉ is more and more surprising.
The little guy in Tsing Yi was a little unhappy when he saw someone entering the door, and he thought to himself that he didn't know which official from other places had just returned to Beijing, but he didn't know the hidden rules of the red-sleeved move, and when he saw Ning Que's face, he couldn't help but be stunned, and immediately welcomed the pair of masters and servants into the building with a smile on his face, and then put his hand to his mouth and shouted: "The girls upstairs and downstairs, the girls in the courtyard, have come out to pick up guests!"
Ning Que was a little stunned at first, and then felt a little proud, secretly thinking that he would probably never be able to cultivate to the realm of senior brother in his life, but at least in other aspects, he could be regarded as quite accomplished and had his own unique prestige.
Hearing that it was Ning Que who had returned to Chang'an, a dense sound of footsteps suddenly sounded in the red-sleeved move, and more than a dozen girls poked their heads out of the railing, excitedly waving the handkerchief in their hands, and shouting his name.
Looking at this picture, Ning Que couldn't help but think of the teasing and ridicule he received before entering the red sleeves for the first time, Da Le opened his arms, as if he wanted to take all the girls upstairs into his arms, and shouted: "I want to kill you!"
Shui Zhu'er took the hot hair from the handmaiden's hand, put it on his face, and said angrily: "Those prodigal hooves used to just think you were cute and teasing, but now after knowing your identity, they are eager to swallow you in their stomachs, if I hadn't come out early today, see what you have left on your body now." β
Ning Que's voice sounded through the hot towel: "I always welcome them to swallow me." β
Shui Zhu'er said mockingly: "It seems that this time I went out for more than half a year, I actually made my heart wild, what Jane said back then is still there, who dares to really swallow you, don't think about such a good thing."
Ning Que straightened up from the couch, wiped his face, threw the hair to the maidservant, looked at Shui Zhu'er and frowned and asked, "I said good sister, when will that ban be lifted?"
Shui Zhu'er pushed him back on the couch, sat down beside him with one leg crossed and gently squeezed his leg for him, and said: "You ask Jane to go yourself, I will tell you something serious, the rubbing of the chicken soup paste is not as easy to sell as it was at the beginning, and the table is darker than the bottom of the pot, do you write a few posts for me to sell on my behalf?"
Since she started selling chicken soup paste rubbings, Miss Shui Zhu'er has not accepted customers, even if there are high-ranking officials in the court, when she hears that Ning Que and Master Yan Se are standing behind her, she will honestly retreat.
Ning Que, as Yan Se's only apprentice, out of some kind of affection that all men understand, of course he wanted her to stop business, but listening to her tone at this time, he didn't seem to know the news that Master Yan Se had passed away, he pondered for a moment and decided not to tell her about it, and said with a smile: "If you want a few, I'll write you a few." β
Hearing this, Shui Zhu'er happily took his head into her arms and rubbed it excitedly.
At this time, Ning Que was held in her arms, and was suddenly a little difficult to breathe by the two plump balls on her chest, but thinking of the other party's own half of his little master, where did he dare to enjoy this taste, and quickly broke free.
"Where do you dare to mess with incest. Ning Que said in a panic.
Miss Shui Zhu'er said hatefully: "Your dead ghost teacher doesn't know where he died, and where there is still anything normal. β
Ning Que smiled and said, "Master, his old man went back to Taoshan to cultivate, and I don't know when he will come back." β
Shui Zhu'er felt slightly gloomy, barely squeezed out a smile, and said: "Don't mention him, tell me what interesting things you encountered when you went to the wasteland this time, I heard that you kidnapped the bookworm back to Chang'an City, is she beautiful?"
Ning Que was stunned, thinking to himself how this rumor spread faster than the Yuan Thirteen Arrows? And what is abduction?
